Finally got our gear
Konta Tur Hende (Aloha everyone in Bonaires native language, Papiamentu),
Yesterday Amado Vrieswijk and I went fishing again and we caught two fish, its a start, but at lease we caught some dinner. I caught a small ahi and Amado caught a small uhu (parrot fish). Before we were catching, I saw a local across the pier pulling in 7 pound ahi every 3 minutes and rainbow runners as well. I went up to him and started to talk with him. He was really friendly and set up my hook with live bait, but he said that we need to buy a smaller hook and net so we can catch the halalu our self. He caught the small halalu (bait fish) for us, then we started to get hit.

The grains of salt were a lot bigger up close. Tastes good too It was good to have a vacation from the vacation but I am glad that all the gear is in so we can start to train. The competition starts on Monday with registration on sunday.
Hopefully should get some cool pictures for tomorrow.
